BLACKMAN TWP, MI – A semi-truck traveling westbound on I-94 near Elm Street was cut off by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed, causing the semi to jackknife, police say.

Blackman-Leoni Township Police Department officers responded to the scene about 1:40 p.m. Tuesday, March 5. The driver was not injured, and officers had to close both lanes temporarily.

Sgt. Steve Stowe said both lanes were closed for roughly 15 minutes until one lane was opened. Public safety officers cleared the scene about 2:25 p.m.

Stowe said the semi was passing the bridge near the Elm Road exit. A blue Jaguar was traveling at a high rate of speed down the ramp onto I-94 and did not yield to the semi. The Jaguar cut off the semi and the driver of the semi braked hard, causing the truck to jackknife.

The Jaguar fled the area, Stowe said. Stowe said the Jaguar has not been located.
